Michael, you need to install the R system first and then the add-on package vcd. If you look at http://www.R-project.org/ there are some manuals and the FAQ which will tell you how to obtain and install R on your operating system. Having done that you can install the package "vcd" which is also covered in the documentation I mentioned above. Both R itself and the vcd package can be downloaded from http://CRAN.R-project.org/ HTH, Z > My thanks in advance for any help you can provide. > > MS > > > > ------- Forwarded message follows ------- > Date sent: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 09:14:28 -0400 > From: Michael Friendly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: goodfit macro > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Organization: York University > > You can also carry out goodness of fit tests using the function > goodfit in the vcd package > for R (a free version of S/Splus), > http://www.r-project.org > > -Michael > > Michael Shott wrote: > >Dear Michael: > > > >Recently I searched the web for guidance in gauging the > > goodness-of- fit of frequency data to statistical models.
